Embeded Flash in Java Desktop App

Most of examples about playing Flash animation on desktop application I found on the internet to are done by VB. But today I found java version. Flash SWT Plugin[ many thanks to Don Park ], it work very well on my latest project :). To use Flash SWT Plugin, download com.docuverse.swt.flash-0.4.zip and extract it somewhere on local disk. Now our eclipse flash project need to add atleast two external jars e.g. flash.jar[from where we just extract the zip] and swt.jar and now we are ready to code. THE SOURCE To play swf file, all we need is FlashPlayer object and activate it that all. it'll look like this. import com.docuverse.swt.flash.FlashPlayer; public class SWTPlayer { .... private void run() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Display display = new Display(); Shell shell = new Shell(display); FlashPlayer player = new FlashPlayer(shell); player.loadMovie(0, " yourflashfile.swf "); player.setSize(550, 400); player.activate(); shell.setSize(550, 400);

Make your eclipse look better on ubuntu

When using eclipse on ubuntu, extra space between items and fonts size make it look awkward. I try to adjust fonts by go to [Window->Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors and Fonts]. This will not much help, reduce fonts size does not change space between item. Here is Eclipse Europa before tweak. Anyway, at last I found the way to make eclipse look more compact from googling. Thank for Wesley and Vladimir Buell for this trick . Create ".gtkrc-2.0" in your home directory enable you to customize gtk object style[more about gtkrc-2.0]. Here is my ".gtkrc-2.0". pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ cat .gtkrc-2.0 style "gtkcompact" { font_name="Sans 8" GtkButton::default_border={0,0,0,0} GtkButton::default_outside_border={0,0,0,0} GtkButtonBox::child_min_width=0 GtkButtonBox::child_min_heigth=0 GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_x=0 GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_y=0 GtkMenu::vertical-padding=1 GtkMenuBar::internal_padding=0 GtkMenuItem::horizontal_paddin
